The rolling continues as we head down wind. Yesterday afternoon during a man over board drill we had the the topping lift on the mizzen boom break. This added an extra dimension to already tricky conditions but we managed to get the mizzen sail down, locate and retrieve the bucket tied to a buoy in under 15 minutes. We had a very rolly night and this morning we have been working on getting a new topping lift moused through the boom. Unfortunately the old one broke inside the boom making the job a bit more difficult. Hopefully we will have the mizzen back in action this afternoon.
Still no luck with fish but not through lack of trying!
For those who have been checking our position on the website, you will find that the Tracker is back up and running now.
2900miles to go.
